Camp Tutira - day2

On the 2^nd day at camp we did heaps of things. First, we got out of bed and had breakfast. I had vegemite toast and cornflakes with pears.

Next, Ryan the outdoor education teacher, met us out on the deck outside of our cabins. He told us what we were going to do today and who would be doing what at what time. All of us went on the low ropes first. We got taught the basic movement of being on the ropes and what to do if your not on the ropes. You have to stand with one foot forward, one foot back and you have to hold up your hands to catch the people on the ropes fall.

There were 4 types of ropes. 3 were with a partner and 1 was by yourself. Funny thing about this was, I had great balance on the ropes but I hop off and I can’t stand properly.

After the low ropes, we went back to the cabins and had morning tea.

Ms Brady, called everybody over and we set off in our groups to lake Tutira. Our group was with Candy, Kael’s mum. We got to the lake to find Ryan parked there waiting for us. He had come over early to set up the canoes and everything else. Our group, Sophie, Maia, Alys, Sativa, Anupreet and I, were on the canoes first. We had Mr. experienced Ryan with us as an adult supervisor which helped us a lot. We had race in our double-canoe catamaran with the other 2 teams. Ms Brady’s team one. It was a race to get the closest to the red and white buoy.

While the other 3 teams did the canoeing we did some problem solving activities. We did a math one, where you had to work out how to make some numbers by standing on numbered pads, we also did a game called mind create, where you have to try to find a path around 25 pads.

When the canoeing and problem solving activities had finished, we went back to camp for lunch.

The last activity for the day was the mud walk. I tried to only get muddy when I had too.(it worked!!!) I was the first inline behind Ryan which was good but bad. He kept trying to get mud all over me to get me really muddy. The good news was though that when ever there was a little stream trickling down he rocks I could wash my hands in it before it got muddy!

I loved my 2^nd day at camp and I can’t wait until camp Waitomo!!!
